Christmas Time is Here

Now that Thanksgiving is over, Christmas time is here and the traditions start. The kids are really excited to see the tree with all the decorations that adorn it. The last picture is of the brand new entertainment center that now dominates the wall. We think it's great!

Halloween pics, FINALLY!

Sorry this took so long, but I had misplaced my camera during all the Halloween festivities and I was relying on my friends to take pictures of my children, and also e-mail them to me.  I had to hound them, but ONE of them finally came through.  When I get all the other ones, I'll try and post those also.  We celebrated the freakin' holiday like every day of that week, so the costumes changed a little  due to the fact that I was too lazy to get them ALL dressed up every time we had a party to attend.  These were taken at my Tuesday playgroup.

We went to the doctor's office this week to do an ultrasound and to finally put to rest the question, whose baby is it! Wait, I mean the question about the gender. The first question will be answered after the birth through a swab of the babies mouth. It's complicated but I do believe I will be victorious (if you haven't noticed already, this is Seth. Shayla doesn't write such stupid nonsense).

The doctor said that he was pretty sure it was a girl since he saw nothing to convince him otherwise. I'm not counting my chickens before their hatched just yet. I sensed a little hesitance in his voice. When I told Ian that the image he was seeing on the tv screen was his little sister he aksed me, "but where is my baby brother in mama's tummy?" He wanted a brother.

I love Primary Program Sunday!

Alright, I know this one was probably destined to be a good one because it was the first time Ian took part in the Primary program at church, but I have always enjoyed these Sundays.  

I was so surprised to see that Ian was so enthusiastic to take part in sitting on the stand, singing and even giving a couple of lines.  I always thought he would be one of those kids that was terribly uncomfortable being up there, but he did a great job!  Unfortunately, his attention span during the songs was pretty short, so he'd belt out a few short lines and then proceed to pretending that he was a space ship or robot or whatever.  Anyway, it did make for quite the entertaining sacrament meeting.
